Mary Kate admitted that she often thought about finding her man, even in high school. She wanted the man to be “the spiritual leader” of her marriage and pursued a guy with a Christian faith. She also describes waiting to find the right guy to marry, even though she arguably waited far less than most people. “But when I say “waiting” I wasn’t just sitting around doing nothing expecting for the right guy to come in and sweep me off my feet.” Mary Kate wrote. “I was pursuing the Lord. To this day, that period of time with the Lord when I was single was one of the sweetest seasons, even if it was also really hard.”
